Remember when Jennifer’s Body hit theaters back in 2009 and everyone pretty much wrote it off as a flop? Yeah, me too—and yet somehow, over the past sixteen years, this darkly delicious high school horror flick starring Megan Fox has risen from the ashes to become an adored cult classic. Now, as Mercury dances whimsically through Scorpio’s suspiciously perfect realm of secrets and rebirth, the film’s director Karyn Kusama just teased that screenwriter Diablo Cody is hard at work crafting a sequel that promises to be just as wild and wicked as the original. Isn’t it fascinating how a movie once misunderstood is now being reborn under such celestial alignment? Honestly, it’s like the stars themselves conspired to give Jennifer’s Body a second shot at jaw-dropping glory—and who doesn’t love a comeback story with killer vibes? Curious how this revenge tale of possessed cheerleaders and devoured classmates will evolve? So am I. LEARN MORE
Jennifer’s Body was initially considered a failure upon its release in 2009, but over the last sixteen years, the film has developed a passionate cult following who are demanding more. While speaking with Deadline, director Karyn Kusama teased that screenwriter Diablo Cody is working on a Jennifer’s Body sequel.
“I know she’s working on it right now, and I’m very excited to hear what comes of it,” Kusama said. “I know some of the bones of it, so I’m not going to give anything away, but it sounds fun and crazy like the first film. And I have no doubt that Diablo will do something absolutely incredible with it.“
Jennifer’s Body starred Megan Fox as a newly possessed high-school cheerleader who kills and devours her male classmates, with only her childhood best friend (Amanda Seyfried) standing in her way. The film was famously mis-marketed by the studio, which primarily sought to capitalize on Fox’s sex appeal. It did eventually find an audience, and Kusama said she’s “just so grateful” for the film’s new cult status. “For the part of me that has a healthy ego that I try to keep in check, to have Jennifer’s Body be like the antidote to another classic film that I worship,” she said. “But the idea that Jennifer’s Body would be somebody’s Godfather, that just tickles me all the way down to my toes.“
Seyfried commented on the poor marketing earlier this year. “If the critics criticize anything, it would be the marketing,” she said. “The marketing sucked. It just did, and we all agree…The marketing team cheapened it, like it was just, you know, a romp. A gory romp. I think they ruined it.“
Seyfried also thinks that the studio’s mishandling of Jennifer’s Body was ultimately a disservice to both director Karyn Kusama and screenwriter Diablo Cody. “Karyn is a fierce advocate of women in storytelling. She is able to enhance the relationships between women on film and TV. She’s able to mine everything she can, and she’s very, very human, and she’s very sensitive…We were expressing a certain angst in a very, very specific comedic way, in a very specific genre.“
